Good morning! Today I have a simple Hello card made with the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set and the pretty Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ designer series paper. You can find the products I used at the bottom of my post along with the card stock sizes.

I adhered a panel of the Garden Meadow 6″ x 6″ designer series paper to Daffodil Delight and Shaded Spruce mats and popped them on the front of a Parakeet Party card base with dimensionals.

I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on a Parakeet Party panel and cut it out with the large circle die from the Radiating Stitches dies.

I tied a length of Parakeet Party metallic ribbon in a bow and adhered it to the back of the label with a glue dot and popped the label on the card front with dimensionals. I finished the card with three Parakeet Party iridescent pearls.

For the inside of the card, I stamped the little wildflower image from the Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow stamp set in Shaded Spruce ink on a Basic White panel. I used the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends to color the flower and dabbed the dark Mossy Meadow and Dark Fresh Freesia Stampin’ Blends around the flowers to add interest and match the front DSP. I trimmed the bottom with DSP and adhered the panel to the inside of the card with Stampin’ Seal.

The Stampin’ Up! Garden Meadow bundle has sweet garden themed images and pretty sentiments. The beautiful Meandering Meadows 6″ x 6″ DSP has gorgeous woodland and wildflower images that make beautiful scenic cards quite easily. Both of these products are part of the Online Exclusive collection so will be around for a while. But the pretty Parakeet Party products are part of the 2022-2024 In Color collection that is retiring at the end of the month.
